Naruto clasped his hands in a prayer sign and gave a small bow. "I myself was wondering how I would get out of such a predicament. However then I remembered that if one always holds faithful to it, the good log will provide. And low and behold, as those thoughts came to me I felt the blessed pull as the log answered my plight."
Guren stared at Naruto for a full five minutes as if trying to figure out what the hell the blond male just said, and if he was on any kind of drugs. Finally she replied, "You mean you used Kawarimi right?" Somehow she felt the need to clarify.
"Isn't that what I just said?" asked Naruto, a little irritated that she had actually had to ask something that he felt was stupid. How else could he have escaped the evil crystal wave of doom? Hiraishin?
Guren felt her eyebrows twitch. "No, you made some kind of shitty convoluted speech about logs!"
"Exactly," Naruto replied.
The crystal user growled before speeding through hand seals, "I'm tired of dealing with you; you've been an annoying little flea ever since this battle started! Shoton: Suisho Mori (Crystal Release: Crystal Lance)!" A rather large amount of crystal coalesced around Guren's right arm, forming a large and deadly looking lance. Once the technique was complete she rushed towards Naruto, intent on ending the blonde's life.
"Something tells me a normal katana won't be enough for this," Naruto murmured as he pulled out a scroll. Unrolling the scroll Naruto bit his thumb and smeared some blood along its length, there was a puff of smoke as Guren reared her lanced arm back. She thrust it forward, intent impaling the blond, only to be met with a loud clang.
When the smoke cleared Guren gaped as she saw a rather large cleaving sword blocking her lance.
Naruto chuckled as he saw her expression, "I'd like you to meet Kubikirihoucho." pulling the sword back Naruto grunted as he gave the sword a ferocious swing. Guren jumped back as the large blade passed through where she had been, she could feel the air currents moving as the sword sliced through her previous spot with a loud 'Woosh!'
Thinking that the blond would need time before he could bring such a large sword to bear on her again, Guren came in fast and hard. It was to her great surprise that the large cleaver was there to stop her a second time, coming in from the left and forcing her back.
"Looks like I finally found something I'm better at than you," Naruto grinned as he sent several slashes that were actually very fast considering the size of the sword he was using.
"Don't get cocky!" Guren shouted as she attempted to cut one of his arms, or at least a hand, off. Naruto however, let her arm lance hit the flat end of his sword as he smacked it away like a baseball, at the same time shattering the lance and getting a grunt of pain from Guren.
"Come on!" Naruto shouted as he sent several powerful slashes at her, created huge wind blades to launch themselves from the sword. Guren's eyes widened as she began to jump and dodge out of the way, out of the corner of her eyes she saw the huge gashes in the land that the blades had made. If one of those touched her, she would likely be done for.
Growling she realized that an up close competition against that sword would not end well for her, or at the very least take far too long to win against, Guren released her crystal lance and went through more hand seals so she could try a different approach.
"Shoton: Suisho Senbon (Crystal Release: Crystal Senbon)!" She called out the name of her jutsu before flicking her wrist and sending several dozen senbon needles at Naruto.
Said blond narrowed his eyes as he resealed Kubikirihoucho, and then channeled chakra into the seal on his left hand, creating a puff of smoke as he unsealed his Bo Staff. Naruto bent his legs slightly into one of the defensive stances as the senbon drew closer. When they finally got near him he began to do what many could almost consider a dance, as he spun around and twirled the staff so swiftly that the glint from the sun left a slight after image in its wake. Along with that he channeled wind chakra into his movements, increasing the quality of his defense as he destroyed all of the senbon coming at him.
When the senbon stopped coming Naruto was quick to reseal his staff and looked towards where Guren had been previously, only to see no one there. He narrowed his eyes and was already in motion as his opponent dropped from the sky, landing where he was with impressive force.
"I don't know how you expected such a useless tactic to work on me," Naruto said as he tried to rile his opponent up and get her angry enough to make a mistake. "I've seen better tactics from this one fan girl I know, and she ended up getting blown away literally."
However rather than get angry Guren smirked. "Oh you think so huh? Well then it's a good thing that wasn't all there was to my strategy wasn't it?"
Naruto's eyes widened as a pair of arms wrapped around his arms and chest, locking him in place and leaving him unable to use jutsu. Of course, he was capable of performing a seal less Kawarimi and was just in the process of doing that. However before he could Guren was right in front of him, a rather wicked looking set of crystallized knifes attached to her fore arms. Realizing he did not have the necessary amount of time to use his favorite escape jutsu, he did the only thing he could think of.
He twisted his body ever so slightly so that the attack that had been aimed at his heart merely stabbed into his left lung. Did it hurt worse than an Akimichi using his expansion jutsu and sitting on you? Yes, but at least Naruto was alive and despite the pain, able to react in time for Guren's next attack. As said woman came in with her other arm to finish the job, Naruto channeled some of his youki through two fingers in his left hand, forming a whip. With a quick flick of his wrist he was able to wrap the whip around Guren's leg.
